I love writing. I love sharing other people’s writing. Being able to express my thoughts, ideas and opinions on a regular basis is so healthy. You seem to be enjoying it too. October was the biggest month ever (again), and the last week of October was the biggest week we’ve ever had. Thank you for […]
